Instant AA status
« on: November 29, 2022, 03:42:11 PM »
Not sure if because I'm Hyatt globalist, but I got an offer to instantly become AA platinum pro

I was actually 10,000 points short of gold

The status lasts 4 months, you have 4 months to earn / spend to extend the status, based on earning, your status renews at whatever level

I was aiming for gold for 2023 and have 20 of 30k.

Not sure how this promotion affects that but I'll do the 10k earning regardless.

I'll need to earn 25,000 points in 4 months to retain platinum. Will I ?

I mean, I'll try, given that it'll boost my 2024 gold status anyways.

Ever since realizing that simplymiles was boosting my points and status I've been shifting to AA.

I don't fly AA that much but this could change!

The other question I have is what can I now do with that Platnium pro status to match to other airlines ?

As mentioned, it's a 4 months status and challenge, i.e. if you spend / earn 25k you'd advance the status another 4 months or 8 months total of Platnium.

However, it would give you gold for the year too.

But 30k to get gold is the standard spending anyways

You basically have 4 months to send 10k to keep your status going, by the years end of you sent 30k you'd have gold for 2023 and 2024

So here's a weird question
I have AA platinum through end of March 2023
If I accept this offer say Dec 25 2022, will that extend it through April 2023? I'll hit the 25k points in that period anyway

How would I credit my JetBlue flights to AA? Is it worth it?

How do I get upgrades on JetBlue with status on American?

I called AA, I told them about my mistake that I don't need it until at least December 28th. They were able to roll back my status until December 13th and told me I should call up then about extending the status from taking effect into end December.

25,000 points every 4 months gonna be a stretch!! Would need a lot of AA flying, cc spend and simplymiles promotions

I earned miles from the AA shopping portal that unlock elite status for me. If I return it, and they clawback the miles, will I lose the status too?


Any data on this?

I am Hyatt Globalist and I linked my Hyatt account with my AA account, but not seeing anywhere in the promotions to opt in for the instant status. Reached out to AA, who is telling me to reach out to Hyatt, reached out to Hyatt and they are telling me maybe I was not targeted.

Anyone else linked their Globalist account and not showing option to enroll in instant AA status?
